In a much-anticipated announcement, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has officially declared the results for the Institute of National Importance Super-Specialty (INI-SS) Entrance Test for the January 2026 session. This comes just days after the rigorous computer-based exam held on November 22, 2025, marking a pivotal moment for medical professionals eyeing advanced training in DM and MCh programs across India’s premier institutions.

The INI-SS exam isn’t just another test—it’s the gateway to super-specialty excellence at elite Institutes of National Importance (INIs), including AIIMS campuses, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and SCTIMST Trivandrum. With thousands of qualified MD/MS/DNB graduates vying for limited seats, the competition is fierce, but the rewards are transformative: cutting-edge research, specialized clinical expertise, and leadership roles in healthcare.

What the Results Mean for You

The declared results feature a roll number-wise PDF list of candidates who have provisionally qualified Stage I of the exam. This stage-I clearance is your ticket to the next phase: departmental assessments and counseling for seat allocation. Qualifying here doesn’t guarantee a seat yet—up to three times the number of available seats (or twice for all INIs combined, whichever is higher) will advance to Stage II evaluations, which carry 20 marks toward the final merit.

These super-specialty courses cover high-impact fields like:

• DM Programs: Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Critical Care Medicine, and more.
• MCh Programs: Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, and specialized tracks like Hand and Microvascular Surgery.

Successful candidates will join the ranks of India’s top medical innovators, contributing to advancements in patient care and public health.

Next Steps: Counseling and Beyond

Once you’ve confirmed your qualification, gear up for the counseling process, which AIIMS Delhi will coordinate. Expect:

• Departmental Assessment: For shortlisted applicants, this interview-style evaluation weighs heavily in final selection.
• Document Verification and Reporting: Prepare originals of your MD/MS/DNB certificate, ID proofs, and category documents.

Deadlines will be strict—missing them could mean forfeiting your spot. The final merit list, post-assessments, will seal admissions for the January 2026 session.

A Quick Recap on Eligibility

To jog your memory, INI-SS is open to those with an MD/MS/DNB in a relevant specialty, completed by July 31, 2025. Age limits vary by institute (e.g., 35 for AIIMS, no limit for JIPMER), with relaxations for reserved categories: 3 years for OBC, 5 for SC/ST. It’s a level playing field designed to nurture the best minds in medicine.
